Horizon view
Horizon from Alden C
22.6866° S, 111.7427° E · cell 37KEN
- Highest horizon point
- Alden C: 9.2° above the horizontal, 26.5 km away at azimuth 27°.
- Farthest visible point
- 37.0 km away at azimuth 239°, 1.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,705 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 18.3° high at azimuth 276°, 13.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:10 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 1.9 km, the global LOLA terrain tier of 16 pixels per degree; relief smaller than that, near or far, is smoothed, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
